Is "The System" Too Powerful?

This week's letter comes from a guy who applies Doc Love's techniques, but feels bad for all the ladies he's turning down. Is "The System" only for players?

reader's question

Hey Doc,

I have a question about "The System." It's obvious that it works. I've been using it for three years and every time I get in a pinch, I've learned to say to myself, "What would Doc do?" Or if I meet a woman and run out of things to say, I'll just blurt out, "Can I have your home phone number?" It's also shown me the ways to identify the good ones. For instance, I used to work out at a gym on Sunset Boulevard, and there was this beauty who worked at the front desk.

This girl had the face of an angel and a body that would make Naomi Campbell go running to the treadmill. So I went up to her one day, said hello and asked for her name. She smiled and answered me. Unfortunately, she didn't ask me for my name. Even though I was dying to get to know her, it was pretty obvious that unless my last name was Bruckheimer, she wasn't giving me the time of day. So I told her it was nice meeting her and moved on.

I've since left California and am living in New England. The women here aren't quite the knockouts that grow out in the Golden State, but they are a lot more grounded and are the kind of women whose company I enjoy more often.

My problem is that your principles work on such a high level that it may be too powerful here. Let me explain. Using your rules in California allowed me to date the super-hotties that, once I detected their flaws and got rid of them, would have no problem grabbing some other poor schlep and making him her next victim. But women in New England are more kindhearted, and a little more fragile than those on the West Coast. While "The System" would attract many L.A. women and make them want to chase me, it makes them fall head over heels for me here.
